SSS STAMPtember Release - Grateful

Hello! So excited - because the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release is LIVE and ready to go shopping!!! I have a shaker card using a new die, as well as the new SSS Glimmery Cardstock and SSS vellum in a shaker card:

I absolutely adore the font of this Grateful Wafer Die - and love the way it is a two step die - so unique and fun! I added a coat of Glossy Accents to the yellow words as well.

I made this into a shaker card with vellum to back the words - super hard to see in the photos, but I filled it with that iridescent star confetti that is also stuck on the front of the card - you can see it peeking through a bit in this photo:

The new shimmer paper is super fun too - fun and frosty colors, and the texture is fun too!

I used some adhesive to randomly stick some of the star confetti on the front of the card and wrapped some jute twine around in a loose bow to finish.

Rectangle die finishes off the shaker portion, and the pattern paper in the back is from an American Crafts paper pad - love how the colors set everything off just right!

Ombre Watercolor Stripes and a Mermaid!

Good morning! Stopping by with a fun watercolor technique card and Quick Tip video using another new Unity Stamp Company release:

Here is the video showing how I created those watercolor stripes:

I was going to color the mermaid, but once the background was finished, it just seemed like it needed to stay plain and let the background shine on it's own!

I love this watercolor technique - inspired originally by an image on Pinterest - you can read my original attempt and post on the Unity Blog HERE.

Sparkly Gold Underwater Mermaid

Good morning! Sharing another card from the new Unity Stamp Company releases this weekend - and a Quick Tip video for it as well - this one is a sparkly mermaid underwater scene!

Here is the video showing how I combined normal watercolors with some sparkly gold - such a fun effect:

The way the two colors blend is just so fun - I just simply can't get enough watercolors! After the video, I went ahead and colored in the mermaid as well.

I added a bit of pattern paper peeking out around the mermaid, then mounted it on a soft blue cardbase to finish off.

Beautiful Whale - Unknown Marvelous

Good morning! Sharing another card from the new Unity Stamp Company releases this weekend - and a Quick Tip video for it as well!

Here is that video - just sharing how I did the watercoloring on this card:

 I love the effect of two colors and allowing them to blend together like this - as well as leavin gthe image uncolored and simple.

I used a distress tool on the edges before attaching to my pattern paper - which was actually in my random pile, so I have no idea what company is is from!
